Tim Conway | James Series | Resist the devil by arming yourself with God’s truth, standing firm in faith, and advancing the gospel—with the certainty that as you oppose him, he has no choice but to flee.

The sermon (given months before Bob died of cancer) exhorts listeners to live by faith now, to confess they are strangers on earth seeking a heavenly country, to reject complacency, to “get their house in order” spiritually, and to press on in love and joy even as life grows short. It’s a poignant reminder that death is inevitable for all, but for those united to Christ it marks the doorway to a r...

Christian Submission: Yielding to God's Will in All Things – James 4 lays it out plain: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. That means if you're living for yourself, holding onto sin, or resisting His authority, you're in a dangerous place. But there's hope—James calls us to submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to Him. This isn’t some halfhearted submission; it’s a call...

James Gilmour of Mongolia, Chapter 5 - Marriage - I Proposed, She Accepted—All Through Letters | "You can see that the entire thing was undertaken purely on the principle of faith.

He c...

Paul Washer | Classic Preaching Gem | We must not trade the priceless, transformative presence of Christ for temporary entertainments or mere scientific pursuits. True passion for God is demonstrated by a heart that burns for His glory—a heart that is willing to be frustrated and challenged, knowing that every trial is a reminder of our need for Him.

Article written by Tony Leiter | What goes through the mind of a child that is raised in a godly household? I’m sure every parent who seeks to bring up their children “in the discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Eph 6:4) has at some point in time wondered this. So, we ask ourselves, what is a very common pitfall for children who are raised in a Christian household? Read article: https://illbeh...

Geoff Thomas | 2024 Fellowship Conference Session #4. The cross is propitiation. Jesus’ sacrifice appeased the wrath of a sin-hating God. By taking the punishment that we deserved, he declared that God’s righteous anger against sin was fully satisfied. In his death, God’s justice and love meet on Calvary.

Join us for the 2025 Fellowship Conference, held April 17-20, 2025, in Denton, Texas, where believers from across the globe gather to exalt Christ, reflect on the power of the cross, and grow in faith. Register: https://illbehonest.com/fellowship/

As believers we must consider the example of Jesus Christ--specifically let us consider his prayer life. Jesus was often found alone praying to his Father. He often prayed throughout the night and he even prayed before making decisions. This shows us the importance of connecting with God through prayer and relying on Him for direction.

Chapter 11 from Gardiner Spring's, "The Power of The Pulpit" | It is beneficial for us to keep such an example of ministerial diligence before our eyes. Through Paul’s life, we can better appreciate how much can be accomplished by the patient and self-sacrificing efforts of one devoted servant of God. Effective diligence encompasses the entirety of a minister’s life, requiring full dedication to t...

Chapter 15 from Gardiner Spring's, "The Power of The Pulpit" | It was a bold and presumptuous step on my part, when, as a young man just entering my third year in ministry, I dared to instruct others by publishing Essays on the Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character. Nearly forty years in the ministry have since taught me that youth and inexperience can address such a profound topic with far...

Jesus made it clear: “Out of the heart come evil thoughts” (Matthew 15:19). The Pharisees looked righteous on the outside, but inside, they were full of hypocrisy and sin. Legalism shifts the focus from heart transformation to external rule-keeping—missing the point entirely. True purity isn’t about following rules; it’s about a heart changed by God. Are we focused on appearances, or on real trans...

Tim Conway | James Series | Romans 9 shatters human pride, reminding us that salvation is not earned but rests entirely on God's sovereign mercy. This humbling truth forces us to abandon self-reliance and stand in awe of the God who has mercy on whom He wills. When we grasp this reality, it silences our objections and drives us to worship rather than debate. Instead of questioning God’s justice, w...

Bob Jennings | Then I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, along with the living creatures and the elders. Their number was described as myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. They cried out with a loud voice: “Worthy Is The Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing; and every created thing, in heaven, on earth, unde...

Bob Jennings | Open with me, please, to Hebrews chapter 7. I was thinking, just as credit card companies advertise their cards—their benefits. One card advertises there’s no annual membership fee, another card advertises you have free travel insurance, another card advertises you even get money back for the purchases you make with this card. Just as they advertise their benefits, so also, in a sen...

Mike Morrow | Excerpt from: Christ Died to Bring Us to God | You know, I am really conscious that we have to be careful on this business of assurance. I'm really conscious of that. I spent a week or two from Sunday through Wednesday with a young preacher last week. This dear brother has absolutely no peace about his salvation. He has no peace about his salvation. And there have been a lot of peopl...
